I tested from home. Here's what happened when I input nslookup:

C:\Documents and Settings\Doug>nslookup
*** Can't find server name for address 10.8.0.1: No response from server
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.254: No response from
server
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.0.1: Non-existent domain
*** Default servers are not available
Default Server:  UnKnown
Address:  10.8.0.1

The ipconfig /all command for the TAP-32 adapter shows correct values for
all DHCP options.

However, when I modified the DHCP option for dns server to point at a
different name server (192.168.1.1) on the loc area, nslookup immediately
worked!

It looks like the DNS server (dnsmasq) on the Bering firewall isn't
accessible from VPN clients. As mentioned in an earlier mail, I've followed
instructions on the Bering web site for setting up the openvpn config file
as well as changes to Shorewall. Do I need to add rules to allow connections
on port 53 between VPN and FW in Shorewall rules?
